Web Browser Operation Install the software through the IE browser of OS to operate the network remotely and conveniently. DVR supports C/S, B/S, and access in LAN and WAN. It also supports IP and domain name visiting. 6.1 Software Environment Hardware Recommended Hardware requirement ~ CPU：Pentium 2.8G or above（Dual core） ~ Memory：2G or above ~ HDD：7200 SATA 32M 500G or above ~ Display： Video card with YUV output，64M video memory ~ Ethernet：1000M - 69 - Software ~ Windows XP ~ WindowsVista/winodws7 ~ DirectX 9.0c (above) RESTRICTION CONDITION： To ensure PC’s stable visiting of DVR, we recommend Windows XP or Win7. 6.2 Network Security Setting Prior to control installation, please program the network security level by using the following operations: (1) Open the IE browser and click [Tools→ Internet Options]. (2) Choose the “Security” label in the dialogue box. (3) Click “Customization level” to enter into the security setting. - 70 - Set the ActiveX control and pluggable unit. Select the following options √ ActiveX control auto-prompting √ Run the script of the ActiveX control which is marked to be that can safely implement the script. √ Implement initialization and run the script of the ActiveX control which is not marked to be that can safely implement the script. √ Binary system and the script behavior √ Download the unsigned ActiveX control √ Download the signed ActiveX control √ Perform the ActiveX control and pluggable unit It’s extremely importation to “enable” the items above. Prompt: Before control installation, please turn off the fire wall and the anti-virus software. 6.3 Connection Setting The remote access for the hard disk recording machine should be carried out through the network. In the local area network connection, the IP address of the client-side computer must be in the same network section with that of the hard disk recording machine. While in the wide area network connection, just ensure that two sides can visit the public network, and connect through the IP address or the dynamic domain name. The following will mainly focus on the connecting and setting method for the local area network. - 71 - Step 1: Right click on “Network neighborhood” and click “Attribute” in the ejected menu to open the “Network connection”. Step 2: Double click to open “Local connection”. Step 3: Click “Attribute”. Step 4: Double click “Internet protocol (TCP/IP)”. - 72 - Step 5: Examine the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway on the PC. Step 6: Set the corresponding IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway on the DVR (refer to 5.5.5 Network Setup). If the subnet mask and default gateway on DVR are the same with those of the PC, then the IP address must be in the same network section but cannot be the same with the used one. Otherwise, it will cause IP address conflicts. Take the figure above as an example, the IP address should be: 192.168.0.X, wherein, X cannot be 40 or 1 (including other IP addresses currently being used), and cannot surpass 255, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the gateway is 192.168.0.1. 6.4 Control Download and Installation After finishing the aforementioned settings, open the IE browser, input http://192.168.0.X (192.168.0.X is the setting IP address of the DVR) and confirm. If the http port of DVR setting has been changed (not 80); you must add colon + port number (assume that the current port number is P), like http://192.168.0.X:P, for correct visit. Then, the network will download and install the control automatically. After connecting to the internet, IE will automatically download the file to PC as follows. The system will automatically enter GUI as follows. - 73 - Fill in your username, password and select English to enter the system. The password is the same as the one set in DVR. USER Name: Input user name. The administrator has all authorities, but common user has been limited authorities by administrator. PASSWORD: The password is the same as the password of Device.

Appendix 1 Setting up Internet Connections for Remote Access This section will explain the ways to connect your DVR to the internet using static and dynamic IP addresses. To connect to the internet, you will need to use a modem and a router. As a network device, your DVR should have its own address called an Internet Protocol (IP) address. This address can be used by other network devices (i.e. computers) to access the DVR to remotely monitor the CCTV cameras and change settings. You can get a static IP address from your internet service provider – this way you will always have the same address at all times, though this method is rather expensive. If you have a static IP, enter your static IP in the DVR settings and the router will connect your DVR to the internet. You may alternatively choose to use dynamic IP, which means that the IP address of your DVR may frequently change, but it will still be possible to find your DVR from remote computers, by using DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) which dynamically assigns IP addresses to the DVR. This functionality allows the DVR to automatically update its IP address to the DDNS Server each time its Dynamic IP address changes. Your DVR is equipped with the DDNS functionality and has a list of related domain names through which you can acquire an IP address. (See Section 5.4.3 for details.) Setup an account with a DDNS service provider and with the account information available, login to the router and go to the DDNS page. Select the address of your service provider and type in the account password. After saving, the router will send IP updates to your DDNS account and the connection will always be forwarded to you current IP.
